Hats off to the 3 Democratic candidate in the special elections in Florida this past week. The two victors show that no GOP district is safe for the GOP if Democrats are able to raise enough to get their message out or if the Party is able to support them. A good issue for legislative candidates is to show they can bring economic relief to their voters by combining the local elections with the even year elections. This reform saves taxpayers millions of tax dollars EVERY election cycle. It also boosts voter turnout and results in more women and more minorities being elected to local offices. This helps reduce the GOP's dominance of local government outside of the big cities. It also helps prevent extremists from gaining control over school districts.
